SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Within the dominant narrative constructed about the events of September 11 and the subsequent War on Terror, the United States government and Western media ostensibly defined and categorized the disparate peoples of the Middle East and South Asia into fixed generalities for mass consumption. In particular, the representation of Arab and Muslim women as oppressed and voiceless became a prominent trope used to justify American military engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan. In response to the conventionally passive and limiting portrayals of Arab and Muslim women, playwrights such as Heather Raffo, Rohina Malik, Laila Farah, and Bina Sharif created through their solo performances a multitude of female characters who question and contradict such generalizations. Considered collectively, the dramas produced by these artists together create a theatrical form of resistance and revision as a means of bearing witness to the contemporary realities of Arab and Muslim American women.
